I've been testing the nescape LDAP SP with examples from Sun's JNDI Tutorial
and have encountered inconsistencies between netscape and Sun concerning
what is returned by ReferralException.getReferralInfo(). Sun's returns a
String with the URL in it while Nescape seems to return a
netscape.ldap.LDAPURL. This causes an Exception when you try
ReferralException.getReferralContext(). Has this been looked at before? Is
there a fix?
Here's the Exception output.
Received referral: [Lnetscape.ldap.LDAPUrl;@42a132
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassCastException:
